Ensuring Voluntary Norfolk’s offer is fit for the future
For more than 50 years, Voluntary Norfolk has supported people and communities across the county. As Norfolk changes, so too must we. That’s why we’ve begun a process of repositioning and rebranding – to make sure we remain relevant, sustainable, and focused on what matters most: helping people and communities to thrive.
This is not about changing who we are, but about evolving and building on strong foundations. We’re refreshing our purpose so we can better meet community needs, work more closely with partners, and strengthen the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector as a whole.

For the people of Norfolk
We want to make it easier for everyone to see what Voluntary Norfolk does and how to get involved. Whether that’s through volunteering, finding local support, or taking part in community activities, our goal remains the same – where everyone is able to find the help they need.
For charity service users and communities
We know that approximately 10% of the population rely on charities, many more using individuals, families and whole communities benefiting from them. If you have received support from a charity or a voluntary organisation, community group, or social enterprise, your experiences and insights are vital. We’ll be running surveys and interviews to listen to what matters most to you and how our services can make the biggest difference. Your voices will help shape how we work in the future.

NEXT STEPS…
At every step, our approach will be guided by listening, learning and adapting. Together, we can make sure Voluntary Norfolk—and the sector we’re proud to be part of—continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of the communities we all serve.
